First off, happy birthday week papa!!!!!! HAPPY AHAHAPDHFPAHFOAEHFAHF BIIRTHDHDAHFADYFADHADFDIFA!!!!
ok now I will share some highlights from the week :)
Last
Sunday we went to try and find a less active but she lived pretty far
away and so we took a taxi out to her to find her. Well we had a great
taxi ride and the driver was a super cute old man who was super
talkative! and we actually ended up having a great conversation about
the gospel! I was able to have the first discussion with him which was
super cool. I think it was the first time someone has sat down and
listened to me give the whole first discussion solo! see I just need to
pay them to drive me places and then they will listen!!! ;) No but
really is was a really cool discussion and he kept on calling me Hannah
and then also said that he felt something in his heart. He was so nice
and we have his number and we tried to set up a couple of times with him
this week but his car broke down and then he has been sick. hopefully
this week!
Tuesday
we went with the Johnstons to our less active Axxxxx who we have been
working with. Sister Johnston said she would like to look at some of her Tupperware so we went to her house and we had a whole presentation! it
was fine when just Alvera was talking to us but about 45 minutes into
our visit someone comes and IT IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY so yeah
that was really interesting! Boy he was a charmer hahahahaha. But he told
us how if we change one word that we use we can change the way that we
think and eventually our judgement before God. The words are spaseeba
and blagadaroo (hahahah they look so funny in English hahaha) pretty
much the difference is like saying "thanks" and "I am thankful to you" so
yeah it was a pretty cool thought! But yeah translating is hard and I
tried to say Tupperware with a russian accent and I said "two-perware"
and everyone just had a hoot! hahahah it was pretty funny. But yeah Russians just say it like sounds tupperware hahahaha.
We went back to Lxxxx..... had the scariest night of my life there hahahahhahah. I think that is a story for after the mission!
We
met with Gxxxxx again and had a bittersweet meeting. We talked all
about our families and testified and did everything that we could and
then at the end we asked if she would like to take the lessons and she
said no. So that was a little hard... but she still wants us to visit
and come and she has some service for us so maybe someday. Sister Beach
still feels strongly that we need to visit with her and I think that she
is right in the fact that she just needs a friend. her daughters all
live far away- one in California. But yeah I think that she is kind of
lonely. And hey she has become one of my really good friends:)
Ok let's see what else...
We
went and visited with a less active Bxxxxxx again this week! she is so
cute. Literally about 3 feet tall and has these two cute little kids.
They have a tiny house and her older daughter who is 6 will be starting
school soon and we asked "Are you going to miss Cxxxxxx when she goes to
school?" and she said "honestly no!" hahahahahahahahaha It was so
funny and I just loved it. She reminds me a lot of you mom haha. She
also kept telling Cxxxxxx to sit like a lady haha. But yeah she is
awesome! We are trying to teach her husband but she doesn't think he is
ready yet. But hopefully we will be doing service for him this week to
open up that opportunity to teach! But he is awesome. I think I already
talked about him and how he brings them to church as of late even though
he is hairy krishna (hahahahhaa hairy.. how do you spell that?!?!)

| Sister Beech's Birthday at the Mall! |
Sister Beach's birthday was on Friday!
SHE IS 20!!!! YEAH!!! we had a pretty normal day:) but we did go to the
mall for lunch and then served a member named Rxxxxx. We dusted and
mopped underneath his cabinet because it is hard for him to reach. WE
WORE PANTS. IT WAS SO WEIRD. I felt so weird. I am going to be a weirdy
when I get home hahaha. But we got some funny pictures with Rxxxxx and
he also shared some history with us! he loves history about Russia and America so I think he was talking about in the 50's in America and how
all the men were gone and how the women were like in charge and how he
believes the judgement bar changed during that time to always be in
favor of women. so yeah it was really interesting and a lot went over
our heads! he said the first time he met with missionaries he thought
they were going to beat him up but they just said they wanted to invite
him to church hahaha. It was so fun to serve!

We
also had a lesson with Axxxx that night. Man our lessons with him just
haven't been that great as of late. Last lesson he took a long time
trying to convince us that he wasn't an FBI agent and then this last
lesson he talked all about how he wanted to get married but not to
someone his age. he also mentioned the he doesn't consider himself a
religious man and were are like "what." but he is still progressing and
doing great I just don't feel like he feels any kind of urgency and I
also think that he sees baptism as the end step when really it is like
just the beginning!
Then Sunday
we had a great fast and testimony meeting. Nxxxx and Sxxxx also
blessed their baby (yeah I know like 1-2 weeks old!??!) and it was very
sweet :) We also went to break the fast at the Johnston's which was fun!
we went with all the young single adults. it was fun! That day we also
kind of got lost on the bus but one of the YSA's also got on the bus and
helped us find the less actives house! it was a tender mercy:) he also
gave us gummy bears! It was such a tender mercy and I felt like Ammon in
the book of Mormon when he felt really discouraged and an angel came
and told him to go back and preach and when he went back he was met with
open arms by.... hmmmm Ammulek? dang i forgot his name hahahaha. But it
was a tender mercy:) Well I love you all!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!
С большой любовью,сестра Price
